Coachella may be winding down, but it's just the start of what should be a vibrant summer festival season. If you plan on hitting a few of these musical spectaculars you'll need a reliable bag by your side. Diane von Furstenberg looks to fill the gap with her Elaine Festival Hobo Bag.

The Elaine might seem a little tame compared to all those feather covered, tassel ridden bohemian bags so many other music lovers carry, but I think it's a better purse for it. While the Elaine is intended to serve us during summer festival season, its timeless design should see it venturing out in the colder months too. After all, black is a wardrobe staple and with hardware and accents kept to a minimum the Elaine shouldn't date.

No matter what time of year you'll appreciate the Elaine's clever design. It's small so as not to weigh you down in a crowd, but Diane von Furstenberg's made the most of its petite dimensions. There's a flap pocket on the front and a clever two-way zippered compartment on the back with a quintet of pouches inside it. And that's all before we even open it up! There we find more zip and slip pockets ready to serve. This smart design is complemented by a substantial cross-body strap, which is perfect for grabbing as you're racing out your tent to the next performance.

At $475 the Elaine Festival Hobo isn't exactly a bargain, but it's so well designed that it still represents great value.
